The recent news about the launch of Thinkspot, a new social media hub founded by controversial Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, left me troubled. I am worried that Thinkspot will become yet another platform for haters to post their vile bigotry and conspiracy theories, radicalizing each other and inciting violence.
I can only imagine the unfiltered, raw hate and dangerous postings Thinkspot will attract, as Peterson has refused to disavow even the most extreme voices.
I do not see the merit to providing an outlet for the sewage of hateful minds, particularly in the wake of the Tree of Life synagogue murders allegedly perpetuated by an anti-Semitic person who frequented a similar platform.
I reside on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, and am aware and know too well where hateful language can lead.
